Plural Pronoun

I like to travel with you – there is a sweetness

in our camaraderie which lends a lightness

to the tightness of experience I often underwent

when we were separate. To season life –

to pepper it – with your and my inimitable

takes on what we see: I like the difference

this makes between the “you” you seem to be

and my own panoply. I wish that I were strong

enough to hold you on my back, the way you’re

always holding me: I hope someday to make up

for that lack. But now, with what great tenderness

I find I’m savoring the plural pronoun we!
